Camouflage wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland
The wz.93 Pantera PL Woodland camouflage pattern is currently used by the Polish Armed Forces. It was the first camouflage pattern designed and introduced into widespread use in the Third Polish Repubic. The 1993 pattern combines mimetic and deforming properties through the use of irregular spots of various sizes. The color scheme, based on green, brown, and black, has been adapted to the conditions of Polish forests, making ""Pantera"" a good choice for operations in the native terrain. Uniforms in this camouflage pattern are also part of the basic equipment for students of Military Uniform Classes.

The Helikon-Tex sweatshirt receives excellent reviews for its strong seams, durable fabric, and thoughtfully designed cut. Customers praise it for comfort, functionality, and the many useful pockets. Underarm zip ventilation is usually seen as a key advantage, as it effectively helps regulate heat. Other positives include easy adjustment, a comfortable fleece-lined collar, and effective camouflage, especially in forest surroundings. Sometimes there are mentions of the unusual zipper, wide sleeves, or oversized sizing, but the store and size exchange processes work very smoothly and without issues. In summary: the sweatshirt is versatile—it suits trips out of town, work, and everyday wear, and the price-to-quality ratio and efficient shipping convince many to buy it.

All good, good brand, great price, well packaged, quick delivery to UK. I ordered shadow grey, hope black colour is restocked as well - might order more of that as well.
-
The quality matches the price. I liked them. The size fits. I order to Ukraine, and there have been no problems with orders yet. The price for this brand's clothing in Ukraine is two to three times higher.
-
The sweatshirt is well made and can be used both as an outer layer on cooler days or worn under a jacket. The zippered underarm ventilation is a great solution, and the collar finished with fleece ensures high comfort. In my opinion, it will work well not only for walks or trips out of town, but also for work. It does not restrict movement. The size matches the description. The price is favorable.
-
The sweatshirt is nice, but unfortunately the sleeves are quite wide – that’s the only drawback, but not serious enough to lower the overall rating. It’s warm, but you can also open the vents on warmer days.
-
Great sweatshirt, the zip-up collar works perfectly at the shooting range, so you don’t need to worry about hot casings getting under your collar. You can wear a lot underneath, it doesn’t restrict movement, and the extra vents make it easier to regulate the temperature. I definitely recommend it!
-
The shirt fully meets my expectations – it has spacious pockets and is reasonably priced. It's great for me, because functionality is the most important thing.
-
The sweatshirt is great and has lots of practical pockets, which is why I chose and use it. It doesn't restrict movement, it's tactical—exactly what I was looking for.
-
Excellent camouflage for the forest, especially great in early spring. The material is a bit rustling, but it didn’t stop me from approaching an owl at two meters. The ventilation holes and pocket layout are very practical. However, I would prefer the main zipper with Canadian buttons.
-
Very nice sweatshirt. The Navy Blue shade is a dark navy. It doesn't restrict movement but isn't too loose either. It has many useful pockets, which you need to get used to. It works great with SFU pants in the same shade. I recommend it.
-
Very nice sweatshirt. The Shadow Grey color is a darker shade of grey. It doesn't restrict movement and is not too loose. It has many practical pockets that you have to get used to. I recommend it.
-
A very modern military sweatshirt; I really like the collar lined with fleece; the Velcro adjustment allows for a good fit; practical underarm vents; it is lightweight and has many interestingly placed pockets, although there could be even more at the bottom; excellent color; the material really dries quickly.
-
Nice sweatshirt, although the sizing surprised me – I bought one that was too small. Big plus to Militaria for the quick exchange to a larger size. Good quality product, and the price is lower than in brick-and-mortar stores. I recommend it.
-
The sweatshirt itself is great. At a height of 173 cm, size S turned out to be a bit too large, but it is still very comfortable and provides good camouflage. I especially recommend it to airsoft players.
